The US government is suing Harley-Davidson for violating federal air pollution laws, Bloomberg first reported.

The lawsuit alleges that the motorcycle maker's "Screamin' Eagle" after-market engine tuners are emissions-control defeat devices. The government is seeking a court order to bar Harley-Davidson from making, selling, or installing the tuners and is seeking financial penalties.

Harley-Davidson did not immediately respond to request for comment.

This story is developing. We'll update as we find out more.
